Dear Friends,
\nMy name is Kymberlee Ruff, MFT. I am Cherokee by ethnicity but I have been given the great honor of being a “Carrier of the Hopi\/Tibetan Prophecies”.
\nI was asked by the Elders to share the Sacred writings of the late Chief Dan Katchongva.
\nChief Dan Katchongva belonged to the Sun Clan, which took over the chieftaincy of Hotevilla.\u00a0 He is the son of Yukiuma, the chief who founded Hotevilla in 1906, and served as a spokesman and advisor up to the time he became chief.He passed over in 1972.<\/p>\n

I have been studying under Grandfather Martin Gasweseoma who is the nephew of the late Yukiuma.<\/p>\n

If you have been watching the news lately, you may have seen how the tide is turning and corruption is beginning to become purified. Since the recent election, the Time of Purification has accelerated and we are beginning to see what the Fifth World can look like.<\/p>\n

I have been told that: “The United States has the first honest President since Lincoln and we can now begin the restore Truth and Honor.”<\/p>\n

The Hopi Prophecy has always been kept hidden except to the initiated and takes 8-9 days to tell. This writing by Chief Dan Katchongva was the very first time any part of the Hopi Prophecy was ever shared with the White People.<\/p>\n

I have been told that it is very important that the world understand now what is happening and what is about to happen so that they can prepare to Remain Noble<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Dan Katchongva, the late Sun Clan leader of
\nHotevilla, spent more than a century in this
\nlife, in the course of which he was
\nprivileged to witness the battle between the
\nancient world and the modern world, in which
\nhe saw many old prophecies fulfilled. He
\nexperienced the whole spectrum, from
\npeaceful village life to the most forceful
\ninterference the Hopi have known since the
\nend of the previous world.<\/p>\n

In a talk recorded on January 29, 1970, Dan
\ntold the story of the People of Peace, from
\nthe dawn of time to the attacks which led to
\nthe founding of Hotevilla in 1906, the school,
\nmoney and police systems which threaten to
\nend the Hopi Way within this generation, and
\nthe consequences for America and the world.<\/p>\n

The thought of publishing his talk grew from
\nthe recognition that those causing this
\ntragedy, and the millions who support them,
\ncould not persist, had they but a glimpse of
\nthe purpose behind Hopi resistance to
\nforeign control.<\/p>\n

Dan agreed to the publication of this
\nbooklet on condition that it never be sold,
\ninsisting that to sell Hopi teachings would
\nbe like selling his own mother.<\/p>\n

He selected the portions to be published,
\nand the accuracy of the translation was
\ncarefully established through his
\ninterpreter, Danaqyumptewa, with emphasis
\ngiven to the original wording.<\/p>\n

In addition to the prophecies fulfilled
\nduring his lifetime, Dan was told by his
\nfather that he would live to see the
\nbeginning of the final event of this era,
\nthe Great Day of Purification. Dan
\nKatchongva died in 1972.<\/p>\n

“All I have is my planting stick and my
\ncorn.\u00a0 If you are willing to live as I
\ndo, you may live here with me.”<\/p>\n

THE BEGINNING OF LIFE
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Somewhere down in the underworld we were
\ncreated by the Great Spirit, the Creator. We
\nwere created first one, then two, then
\nthree. We were created equal, of oneness,
\nliving in a spiritual way, where the life is
\neverlasting. We were happy and at peace with
\nour fellow men. All things were plentiful,
\nprovided by our Mother Earth upon which we
\nwere placed. We did not need to plant or
\nwork to get food. Illness and troubles were
\nunknown. For many years we lived happily and
\nincreased to great numbers.<\/p>\n

When the Great Spirit created us, he also
\ngave us instructions or laws to live by. We
\npromised to live by his laws so that we
\nwould remain peaceful, using them as a
\nguideline for living happily upon that land
\nwhere he created and placed us. But from the
\nbeginning he warned us that we must not be
\ntempted by certain things by which we might
\nlose this perfect way of life.<\/p>\n

Of course we had advantage of many good
\nthings in this life, so by and by we broke
\nthe Creator’s command by doing what he told
\nus not to do. So he punished us by making us
\nas we are now, with both soul and body. He
\nsaid, “From now on you will have to go on
\nyour own. You will get sick, and the length
\nof your life will be limited.”<\/p>\n

He made our bodies of two principles, good
\nand evil. The left side is good for it
\ncontains the heart. The right side is evil
\nfor it has no heart. The left side is
\nawkward but wise. The right side is clever
\nand strong, but it lacks wisdom. There would
\nbe a constant struggle between the two
\nsides, and by our actions we would have to
\ndecide which was stronger, the evil or the
\ngood.<\/p>\n

We lived in good ways for many years, but
\neventually evil proved to be stronger. Some
\nof the people forgot or ignored the Great
\nspirit’s laws and once again began to do
\nthings that went against his instructions.
\nThey became materialistic, inventing many
\nthings for their own gain, and not sharing
\nthings as they had in the past. This
\nresulted in a great division, for some still
\nwanted to follow the original instructions
\nand live simply.<\/p>\n

The inventive ones, clever but lacking
\nwisdom, made many destructive things by
\nwhich their lives were disrupted, and which
\nthreatened to destroy all the people. Many
\nof the things we see today are known to have
\nexisted at that time. Finally, immorality
\nflourished. The life of the people became
\ncorrupted with social and sexual license
\nwhich swiftly involved the Kikmongwi’s
\n(chief’s) wife and daughters, who rarely
\ncame home to take care of their household
\nduties. Not only the Kikmongwi but also the
\nhigh religious leaders were having the same
\nproblem. Soon the leaders and others with
\ngood hearts were worried that the life of
\nthe people was getting out of control.<\/p>\n

The Kikmongwi gathered the high priests.
\nThey smoked and prayed for guidance toward a
\nway to solve the corruption. Many times they
\ngathered, until finally someone suggested
\nthat they move, find a new place, and start
\na new life.<\/p>\n

EMERGENCE INTO THE PRESENT WORLD
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Now they had often heard certain thumping
\nsounds coming from above, so they knew that
\nsomeone might be living there. It was
\ndecided that this must be investigated. I
\nwill describe this briefly, for the whole
\nstory would take much space.<\/p>\n

Being gifted with wisdom, they created birds
\nfor this purpose. I will name three. Two
\nwhich are known for their strength and
\nswiftness are the kisa (hawk) and the
\npavowkaya (swallow) The third was a moochnee
\n(related to the mockingbird). His flight is
\nawkward, but he is known to be wise. They
\nwere each created at separate times by magic
\nsongs, tobacco smoke and prayers, from dirt
\nand saliva, which was covered by a white cap
\n(ova). Each was welcomed respectfully and
\ngiven instructions for his mission, should
\nhe succeed. The first two failed to reach
\nthe top side of the sky, but the third one,
\nmoochnee, came through the opening into this
\nworld.<\/p>\n

The new world was beautiful. The earth was
\ngreen and in bloom. The bird observed all
\nhis instructions. His sense of wisdom guided
\nhim to the being he was instructed to seek.
\nWhen he found him it was high noon, for the
\nbeing, Maasau’u, the Great Spirit, was
\npreparing his noon day meal. Ears of corn
\nlay beside the fire. He flew down and landed
\non top of his kisi (shady house) and sounded
\nhis arrival.<\/p>\n

Maasau’u was not surprised by the visitor,
\nfor by his wisdom and sense of smell he
\nalready knew someone was coming.
\nRespectfully he welcomed him and invited him
\nto sit down. The interview was brief and to
\nthe point. “Why are you here? Could it be
\nimportant?” “Yes,” said Moochnee, “I was
\nsent here by the underworld people. They
\nwish to come to your land and live with you,
\nfor their ways have become corrupted. With
\nyour permission they wish to move here with
\nyou and start a new life. This is why I have
\ncome.” Maasau’u replied bluntly, but with
\nrespect, “They may come.”<\/p>\n

With this message the bird returned to the
\nunderworld. While he was gone the Kikmongwi
\nand the leaders had continued to pray and
\nwait for his successful return. Upon his
\nreturn with the good news of the new world
\nand Maasau’u’s permission for them to come,
\nthey were overjoyed.<\/p>\n

Now the question was how they were to get to
\nthe top, so again they smoked and prayed for
\nguidance. At last they agreed to plant a
\ntree that would grow to the top and serve as
\na pathway. They planted the seed of a
\nshalavee (spruce tree), then they prayed and
\nsang magic songs. The tree grew and grew
\nuntil it reached the sky, but its branches
\nwere so soft and so many that it bent under
\nthe heavy earth pressure from the top, so it
\ndid not pierce the sky. They planted another
\nseed, this one to be a lougu (pine). It grew
\nas they sang their magic songs. This tree
\nwas stout and strong. “Surely this one will
\nget through,” they thought. But it was
\nunsuccessful, for its branches also bent
\nupon contact with the solid object. Again
\nthey planted a seed. This time it was a
\npakave (reed). Since it had a pointed end it
\npierced the sky up into the new world.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile all of this had been kept secret.
\nOnly proper, righteous, and one-hearted
\npeople were informed of the plans to leave
\nthe corrupt world. They were prepared to
\nmove out, so as soon as they knew it was
\nsuccessful they started to come up on the
\ninside of the plant, resting between the
\njoints as they worked their way up to the
\nopening.<\/p>\n

When they got to this world, everything was
\nbeautiful and peaceful.\u00a0 The land was
\nvirgin, unmolested. They were very happy.
\nThey sang and danced with joy, but their joy
\nwas short-lived, for that night the chief’s
\ndaughter died suddenly. Everyone was sad and
\nworried. People looked at one another
\nsuspiciously. An evil spell had been
\nenacted.\u00a0 This caused great concern that a
\nwitch or two-hearted person might be among
\nthem.<\/p>\n

Now the Kikmongwi had great power which he
\nmust use to settle the concern of his
\npeople. He made a small ball out of cornmeal
\nwhich he tossed up above the group of
\npeople. The one upon whose head it landed
\nwould be the guilty one. It landed upon the
\nhead of a girl. A quick decision was made to
\nthrow her back through the opening into the
\nunderworld. The wickedness must be gotten
\nrid of, for they wished to live peacefully
\nin this new land. But the witch girl cried
\nout for mercy, telling them that on their
\nlong journey they would face many obstacles
\nand dangers of every description, and that
\nher services would become useful, for she
\nhad power to fight evil. She invited the
\nKikmongwi to look back down into the
\nunderworld. He looked and saw his child
\nplaying happily with the other children in
\nthe underworld, where upon death we will all
\nreturn. She was spared, but they left her
\nthere alone, perhaps hoping that she would
\nperish by some unknown cause.<\/p>\n

THE FIRST MEETING WITH THE GREAT SPIRIT IN
\nTHIS WORLD
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

It was here that the Great Spirit first
\nappeared to them on this earth, to give them
\nthe instructions by which they were to live
\nand travel. They divided into groups, each
\nwith its selected leader.\u00a0 Before them he
\nlaid ears of corn of various lengths. They
\nwere each instructed to pick one ear of corn
\nto take with them on their journey, for
\ntheir subsistence and their livelihood. One
\nby one they greedily picked out the longest
\nand most perfect-looking ears until only the
\nshortest was left. They did not realize that
\nthis was a test of wisdom. The shortest ear
\nwas picked by the humblest leader.\u00a0 Then the
\nGreat Spirit gave them their names and the
\nlanguages by which they would be recognized.
\nThe last picker of short corn was named
\nHOPI.<\/p>\n

HOPI means not only to be peaceful, but to
\nobey and have faith in the instructions of
\nthe Great Spirit, and not to distort any of
\nhis teachings for influence or power, or in
\nany way to corrupt the Hopi way of life.
\nOtherwise, the name will be taken away.<\/p>\n

He than gave them instructions according to
\nwhich they were to migrate for a certain
\npurpose to the four corners of the new land,
\nleaving many footprints, rock writings and
\nruins, for in time many would forget that
\nthey were all one, united by a single
\npurpose in coming up through the reed.<\/p>\n

Now that we were on top, we were each to
\nfollow our own leaders, but so long as we
\ndid not forget the instructions of the Great
\nSpirit we would be able to survive. We were
\nnow bound by a vow to live by these
\ninstructions and to complete our pattern of
\nmigration.\u00a0 Maasau’u told us that whoever
\nwould be the first to find him would be the
\nleader of those who were to follow, then he
\ndisappeared.<\/p>\n

AN ACT OF PROPHETIC CONSEQUENCE
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

We migrated for many years to every corner
\nof this continent, marking our claim as we
\ntravelled, as these markings clearly testify
\nup to the present day. On our way we stopped
\nfor rest near the great river now known as
\nthe Colorado. We had travelled far and
\ngained a great deal of knowledge, not
\nforgetting our instructions. The group
\nleader was of the Bow Clan, a great chief
\nwith wisdom. But it was here that this great
\nchief disappeared into the dark night. After
\nputting his family to sleep he left in
\nsearch of the Earth Center, where clever,
\ningenious people from all nations meet to
\nplan the future. By some means he found the
\nplace, and was welcomed with respect. It was
\na beautiful place with all manner of good
\nthings.\u00a0 Good food was laid before him by
\nmost beautiful girls. It was all very
\ntempting.<\/p>\n

Until today we did not know the significance
\nof this action. It had to do with the
\nfuture. By this action he caused a change to
\noccur in the pattern of life as we near the
\nend of the life cycle of this world, such
\nthat many of us would seek the materialistic
\nworld, trying to enjoy all the good things
\nit has to offer before destroying ourselves.
\nThose gifted with the knowledge of the
\nsacred instructions will then live
\ncautiously, for they will remember and have
\nfaith in these instructions, and it will be
\non their shoulders that the fate of the
\nworld will rest. The people will corrupt the
\ngood ways of life, bringing about the same
\nlife as that from which we fled in the
\nunderworld. The sacred body of the female
\nwill no longer be hidden, for the shield of
\nprotection will be uplifted, an act of
\ntemptation toward sexual license, which will
\nalso be enjoyed.\u00a0 Most of us will be lost in
\nall the confusion. An awareness that
\nsomething extraordinary is happening will
\ndevelop in most of the people, for even
\ntheir leaders will be confused into
\npolluting themselves. It will be difficult
\nto decide whom to follow.<\/p>\n

The Hopi knew all this would come about. All
\nthese aspects of today’s life pattern were
\nplanned. So today we must stand firmly on
\nour belief in order to survive. The only
\ncourse is to follow the instructions of the
\nGreat Spirit himself.<\/p>\n

THE MISSION OF THE TWO BROTHERS
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

This Bow Clan chief had two grown sons. When
\nthey learned of their father’s misdeed they
\nwere very sad. Their knowledge of the
\nteachings which they had received from him
\nwas all in order. Now they were left alone
\nto lead their people, for the very next day
\ntheir father died.<\/p>\n

They asked their mother to permit them to
\ncarry out the order of their instructions
\nfor an event of this nature. She replied
\nthat it was up to them, for their knowledge
\nwas complete. Upon agreement, the younger
\nbrother was to continue in search of
\nMaasau’u, and to settle where he found him.
\nThere he would await the return of this
\nolder brother, who was to travel eastward
\ntoward the rising sun, where he would rest
\nbriefly. While resting, he must listen for
\nthe voice of his younger brother, who would
\nexpect him to come to his aid, for the
\nchange in the life pattern will have
\ndisrupted the way of life of his people.
\nUnder the pressure of a new ruler they will
\nsurely be wiped off the face of the earth
\nunless he comes.<\/p>\n

So today we are still standing firmly on the
\nGreat Spirit’s instructions. We will
\ncontinue to look and pray toward the East
\nfor his prompt return.<\/p>\n

The younger brother warned the elder that
\nthe land and the people would change. “But
\ndo not let your heart be troubled,” he said,
\n“for you will find us. Many will turn away
\nfrom the life plan of Maasau’u, but a few of
\nus who are true to his teachings will remain
\nin our dwellings. The ancient character of
\nour heads, the shape of our houses, the
\nlayout of our villages, and the type of land
\nupon which our village stands, and our way
\nof life. All will be in order, by which you
\nwill find us.”<\/p>\n

Before the first people had begun their
\nmigrations the people named Hopi were given
\na set of stone tablets. Into these tablets
\nthe Great Spirit inscribed the laws by which
\nthe Hopi were to travel and live the good
\nway of life, the peaceful way. They also
\ncontain a warning that the Hopi must beware,
\nfor in time they would be influenced by
\nwicked people to forsake the life plan of
\nMaasau’u. It would not be easy to stand up
\nagainst this, for it would involve many good
\nthings that would tempt many good people to
\nforsake these laws. The Hopi would be led
\ninto a most difficult position. The stones
\ncontain instructions to be followed in such
\na case.<\/p>\n

The older brother was to take one of the
\nstone tablets with him to the rising sun,
\nand bring it back with him when he hears the
\ndesperate call for aid. His brother will be
\nin a state of hopelessness and despair. His
\npeople may have forsaken the teachings, no
\nlonger respecting their elders, and even
\nturning upon their elders to destroy their
\nway of life. The stone tablets will be the
\nfinal acknowledgment of their true identity
\nand brotherhood.\u00a0 Their mother is Sun Clan.
\nThey are the children of the sun.<\/p>\n

So it must be a Hopi who travelled from here
\nto the rising sun and is waiting someplace.
\nTherefore it is only the Hopi that still
\nhave this world rotating properly, and it is
\nthe Hopi who must be purified if this world
\nis to be saved. No other person anyplace
\nwill accomplish this.<\/p>\n

The older brother had to travel fast on his
\njourney for there was not much time, so the
\nhorse was created for him. The younger
\nbrother and his people continued on in
\nsearch of Maasau’u.<\/p>\n

On their way they came to a land that looked
\nfertile and warm. Here they marked their
\nclan symbols on the rock to claim the land.
\nThis was done by the Fire Clan, the Spider
\nClan, and the Snake Clank.\u00a0 This place is
\nknow called Moencopi. They did not settle
\nthere at that time.<\/p>\n

While the people were migrating, Maasau’u
\nwas waiting for the first ones to arrive. In
\nthose days he used to take walks near the
\nplace where he lived, carrying a bunch of
\nviolet flowers (du-kyam-see) in his belt.
\nOne day he lost them along the way. When he
\nwent to look for them he found that they had
\nbeen picked up by the Hornytoad Woman. When
\nhe asked her for the flowers she refused to
\ngive them back, but instead gave him her
\npromise that she would help him in time of
\nneed. “I too have a metal helmet,” she told
\nhim, (possibly meaning that certain people
\nwith metal helmets would help the Hopi when
\nthey get into difficulty).<\/p>\n

Often Maasau’u would walk about a half mile
\nnorth of his du-pa-cha ( a type of temporary
\nhouse) to a place where there lay a long
\nrock which formed a natural shelter, which
\nhe must have picked as the place where he
\nand the first people would find each other.
\nWhile waiting there he would amuse himself
\nby playing a game to test his skill, the
\nname of which (Nadu-won-pi-kya), was to play
\nan important part later on in the life of
\nthe Hopi, for it was here that the knowledge
\nand wisdom of the first people was to be
\ntested. Until recent times children used to
\nplay a similar game there, something like
\n“hide-and-seek.” One person would hide, then
\nsignal by tapping on the rock, which would
\ntransmit the sound in a peculiar way so that
\nthe others could not tell exactly where the
\ntapping was coming from. (Some years ago
\nthis rock was destroyed by government road
\nbuilders.) It was here that they found
\nMaasau’u waiting.<\/p>\n

THE MEETING WITH MAASAU’U NEAR ORAIBI
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Before the migrations began Maasau’u had let it
\nbe known, though perhaps not by direct
\ninstructions, that whoever would find him
\nfirst would be the leader there. Later it
\nbecame clear that this was a procedure by
\nwhich their true character would be
\nspecified.<\/p>\n

When they found him, the people gathered and
\nsat down with him to talk. The first thing
\nthey wanted to know was where he lived. He
\nreplied that he lived just north of there at
\na place called Oraibi.\u00a0 For a certain reason
\nhe did not name it fully. The full name is
\nSip-Oraibi, meaning something that has been
\nsolidified, referring to the fact that this
\nis the place where the earth was made solid.<\/p>\n

They asked permission to live there with
\nhim. He did not answer directly, for within
\nthem he saw evil. “It is up to you,” he
\nsaid.\u00a0 “I have nothing here. My life is
\nsimple. All I have is my planting stick and
\nmy corn. If you are willing to live as I do,
\nand follow my instructions, the life plan
\nwhich I shall give you, you may live here
\nwith me, and take care of the land. Then you
\nmay have a long, happy, fruitful life.”<\/p>\n

Then they asked him whether he would be
\ntheir leader, thinking that thus they would
\nbe assured a peaceful life. “No,” he
\nreplied, “the one who led you here will be
\nthe leader until you fulfill your pattern of
\nlife,” (for he saw into their hearts and
\nknew that they still had many selfish
\ndesires). “After that I will be the leader,
\nbut not before, for I am the first and I
\nshall be the last.” Having left all the
\ninstructions with them, he disappeared.<\/p>\n

THE FOUNDING OF ORAIBI VILLAGE
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

The village of Oraibi was settled and built
\nin accordance with the instructions of the
\nGreat Spirit. The Bow Clan chief was the
\nfather of the ceremonial order. They
\nremained under the leadership of the Bow
\nClan for some time, perhaps until
\ncorruptions set in. As you recall, the Bow
\nClan chief of the past had contaminated his
\nstanding by taking part in the changing of
\nthe life pattern.<\/p>\n

Later the Bear Clan took over. This might
\nhave been because the bear is strong and
\nmighty. There may have been other reasons
\ntoo, such as a prophecy which told that a
\nbear, sleeping somewhere in the northern
\npart of what is now called Europe, would
\nawaken at a certain time where he would
\nwait. This group is called Bear Clan because
\nthey came across a dead bear at the place of
\nthe shield symbol. Most of the important
\npeople claimed to be of the Bear Clan,
\nincluding the Bluebird and Spider Clan
\npeople.<\/p>\n

The vow which we made with the Great Spirit
\nobligated us to follow His way of life. He
\ngave the land to us to use and care for
\nthrough our ceremonial duties. He instructed
\nus and showed us the road plan by which we
\nmust govern our lives. We wrote this pattern
\non a rock so that we would always be
\nreminded to follow the straight road. The
\nHopi must not drift away from this road or
\nHe will take this land away from us. This is
\nthe warning given to us by Maasau’u.<\/p>\n

Oraibi village was settled firmly. Migrating
\npeople were now gathering there and asking
\nto be admitted into the village. The
\nKikmongwi and the high priests would always
\nconsider their request and base their
\njudgment upon their character and wisdom.
\nThose who showed signs of boastfulness were
\nturned away and told to go to the south
\nmesas where their kind of people lived. Only
\ngood people, humble and sincere in their
\nprayers, were admitted.<\/p>\n

One of these groups was the Coyote Clan,
\nThey were coming from Sh-got-kee
\n(Si-aht-ki), close to Walpi. There were
\nseveral reasons they were pointed out as bad
\npeople, but they were clever in a way.\u00a0 At
\nfirst they were not allowed to join the
\nvillage. But when they made their fourth
\nrequest they were accepted according to the
\ncustom, and they were admitted with the
\nagreement that they act as a protection, and
\nthat in time of troubles they had to support
\nand help the spokesman. But they were warned
\nto be cautious. Although, the devout never
\ntorture to the end. And that is the way we
\nhad it with all the clans, because on the
\nway most of us want to cheat or deceive the
\nleaders to get glory or fame; which leads us
\nto the point of polluting our way and to
\nshake our beliefs.<\/p>\n

The last group that was admitted to Oraibi
\nwas the Grey Eagle Clan.\u00a0 As they finished
\ntheir migration, they first settled in what
\ntoday is called New Mexico. Because they
\nwere people who like to make wars, and
\ntrouble makers they were, they were chased
\naway by the Pueblo Indians there. As they
\ncame to this area, they settled at
\nMishongovi on Second Mesa, with the
\ncondition that they would not start a
\nquarrel or conflict. If they break this
\npromise, they should leave without
\nresistance. So, they started another
\nconflict and they left as promised. After
\nthat they came to Oraibi and asked to be
\nadmitted there. After several attempts they
\nwere allowed to come in under the same
\npromise that they had to give to the other
\nvillage, that they would move voluntarily if
\nthey started restlessness or broke their
\npromise. In accordance with this agreement,
\nthe leader of the Village Mishongovi would
\nconsider re-accepting them on Second Mesa,
\nor to send them back to New Mexico where the
\nPueblo Indians could do with them what they
\nthink is right.<\/p>\n

Later, as we were forced to leave the
\nVillage Oraibi, and we started to settle in
\nHotevila, they came with us, with the same
\nagreement.\u00a0 That is still in effect today.
\nAgain they started restlessness and they are
\nnow obligated to leave. They are the seed of
\nall the destruction in our village. They
\nbetrayed the Hopi Nation because they bow
\nbefore the ones that come with nice words,
\nand through that they get benefits and
\nadvantages. For them, there are just two
\nways: the way of the Great Spirit or the way
\nof Bahanna. They are obligated to go to
\nMishongovi as agreed. The people over there
\nwait for them, but they don’t have the
\ncourage to do what they promised.\u00a0 And they
\nhide themselves cowardly behind the man-made
\nlaw of Bahanna.<\/p>\n

Among the ceremonies of each group the
\nprayer for rain was important in order for
\nthe crops to grow and produce an abundance
\nof food. The people depended on this for
\ntheir livelihood. Boastful people were not
\nadmitted so that the prayers would not be
\npolluted.<\/p>\n

Oraibi was now firmly established. The
\npattern of the religious order was
\nestablished. Cycle by cycle we paid respect
\nto our Mother Earth, our Father Sun, the
\nGreat Spirit, and all things through our
\nceremonies. We were happy for we were united
\nas one.<\/p>\n

THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER RACE FORETOLD
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Time passed on, people passed on, and the
\nprophecies of things to come were passed
\nfrom mouth to mouth. The stone tablets and
\nthe rock writing of the life plan were often
\nreviewed by the elders.\u00a0 Fearfully they
\nwaited as they retold the prophecy that one
\nday another race of people would appear in
\ntheir midst and claim our land as his own.
\nHe would try to change our pattern of life.
\nHe would have a “sweet tongue” or a “fork
\ntongue,” and many good things by which we
\nwould be tempted. He would use force in an
\nattempt to trap us into using weapons, but
\nwe must not fall for this trick, for then we
\nourselves would be brought to our knees,
\nfrom which we might not be able to rise. Nor
\nmust we ever raise our hand against any
\nnation. We now call these people Bahanna.<\/p>\n

THE FORCES OF PURIFICATION
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

We have teachings and prophecies informing
\nus that we must be alert for the signs and
\nomens which will come about to give us
\ncourage and strength to stand on our
\nbeliefs. Blood will flow.\u00a0 Our hair and our
\nclothing will be scattered upon the earth.
\nNature will speak to us with its mighty
\nbreath of wind. There will be earthquakes,
\nfloods, and strange fires in different
\nplaces causing great disasters, changes in
\nthe seasons, and in the weather,
\ndisappearance of wildlife, and famine in
\ndifferent forms. There will be gradual
\ncorruption and confusion among the leaders
\nand the people all over the world, and wars
\nwill come about like powerful winds. All of
\nthis has been planned from the beginning of
\ncreation.<\/p>\n

We will have three people standing behind
\nus, ready to fulfill our prophecies when we
\nget into hopeless difficulties: the Meha
\nSymbol (which refers to a plant that has a
\nlong root, milky sap, grows back when cut
\noff, and has a flower shaped like a
\nswastika, symbolizing the four great forces
\nof nature in motion), the Sun Symbol, and
\nthe Red Symbol. Bahanna’s intrusion into the
\nHopi way of life will set the Meha Symbol in
\nmotion, so that certain people will work for
\nthe four great forces of nature (the four
\ndirections, the controlling forces, the
\noriginal force) which will rock the world
\ninto war. When this happens we will know
\nthat our prophecies are coming true. We will
\ngather strength and stand firm.<\/p>\n

This great movement will fall, but because
\nits subsistence is milk, and because it is
\ncontrolled by the four forces of nature, it
\nwill rise again to put the world in motion,
\ncreating another war, in which both the Meha
\nand the Sun Symbol will be at work. Then it
\nwill rest in order to rise a third time. Our
\nprophecy foretells that the third event will
\nbe the decisive one. Our road plan foretells
\nthe outcome.<\/p>\n

This sacred writing speaks the word of the
\nGreat Spirit. It could mean the mysterious
\nlife seed with two principles of tomorrow,
\nindicating one, inside of which is two. The
\nthird and last, which will it bring forth,
\npurification or destruction?<\/p>\n

This third event will depend upon the Red
\nSymbol, which will take command, setting the
\nfour forces of nature (Meha) in motion for
\nthe benefit of the Sun. When he sets these
\nforces in motion the whole world will shake
\nand turn red and turn against the people who
\nare hindering the Hopi cultural life. To all
\nthese people Purification Day will come.
\nHumble people will run to him in search of a
\nnew world, and the equality that has been
\ndenied them. He will come unmercifully. His
\npeople will cover the Earth like red ants.
\nWe must not go outside to watch. We must
\nstay in our houses. He will come and gather
\nthe wicked people who are hindering the red
\npeople who were here first. He will be
\nlooking for someone whom he will recognize
\nby his way of life, or by his head (the
\nspecial Hopi haircut), or by the shape of
\nhis village and his dwellings. He is the
\nonly one who will purify us.<\/p>\n

The Purifier, commanded by the Red Symbol,
\nwith the help of the Sun and the Meha, will
\nweed out the wicked who have disturbed the
\nway of life of the Hopi, the true way of
\nlife on Earth. The wicked will be beheaded
\nand will speak no more. This will be the
\nPurification for all righteous people, the
\nEarth, and all living things on the Earth.
\nThe ills of the Earth will be cured. Mother
\nEarth will bloom again and all people will
\nunite into peace and harmony for a long time
\nto come.<\/p>\n

But if this does not materialize, the Hopi
\ntraditional identity will vanish due to
\npressure from Bahanna. Through the white
\nman’s influence, his religions, and the
\ndisappearance of our sacred land, the Hopi
\nwill be doomed. This is the Universal Plan,
\nspeaking through the Great Spirit since the
\ndawn of time.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, I as a Hopi do not make
\nwars against any country, because if I do,
\nthe Purifier will find out and punish me for
\nfighting. And since I am Hopi, I am not
\nsending my children across the ocean to
\nfight. If they want to that’s up to them,
\nbut they will no longer be Hopi if they do.<\/p>\n

Since I am Sun Clan, and the Sun is the
\nfather of all living things, I love my
\nchildren. If they realize what I am talking
\nabout they must help me save this world.<\/p>\n

The Hopi have been placed on this side of
\nthe Earth to take care of the land through
\ntheir ceremonial duties, just as other races
\nof people have been placed elsewhere around
\nthe Earth to take care of Her in their own
\nways. Together we hold the world in balance,
\nrevolving properly. If the Hopi nation
\nvanishes the motion of the Earth will become
\neccentric, the water will swallow the land,
\nthe people will perish, and the ants will
\ninherit the earth. Only a brother and a
\nsister may be left to start a new life.<\/p>\n

THE FAITHFUL HOPI MEET THEIR TEST
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Bahanna came with great ambition and
\ngenerosity, eagerly offering his hand to
\nhelp “improve” our way of life, establishing
\nschools to teach us the “better ways” of his
\nlife. He offered us his medicine and health
\npractices, saying that this would help us
\nlive longer. He offered to help us mark our
\nboundary, claiming that in that way we would
\nhave more land. In all the villages we
\nrejected his offer. He tried many ways to
\ninduce us, but failed to make us submit to
\nhis wishes, for we were all one unity at
\nthat time, believers in the instructions of
\nMaasau’u.<\/p>\n

His next attempt was fear. He formed a
\npolice force consisting partly of certain
\npeople who had been tempted by his offers
\nand given weapons. He threatened to arrest
\nus and put us in prison, but we still stood
\nfirm. The threats of arrest and imprisonment
\nwere put into action. Villages panicked and
\nweaker people began to submit. In Oraibi,
\nour village leadership fell when Loloma
\n(Bear Clan) made an agreement with the
\nUnited States government.<\/p>\n

We who still had faith in Maasau’u,
\nincluding the main priests of the religious
\norders, gathered together, rejecting the
\nKikmongwi’s request to submit. We sat down
\ntogether and smoked and prayed that we would
\nbe brave enough to take our stand. We took
\nout our stone tablet and studied it in every
\ndetail. We carefully reviewed the road plan
\nwritten on the rock near our village. This
\nis the plan we must always follow, for it is
\nin order and complete. We recognized that
\nthe Fire Clan (meaning my father, Yukiuma)
\nmust lead, for his symbol, Maasau’u, stands
\nto the right of the reed as he faces out.
\nWe also interpreted that since our way of
\nlife had been corrupted we must move to a
\nnew place where we would be able to follow
\nthe road without interference and continue
\nour ceremonial duties for all beings.<\/p>\n

We smoked and prayed again and reconsidered
\nthat this village, Oraibi, is our mother
\nvillage. All our sacred shrines are rooted
\nhere and must not be left unattended. We
\nknew that the road would be hard with many
\nobstacles. We knew that we would still be
\ntroubled by the newcomer, and that we must
\nstill face all the tests of weakness, so we
\nagreed to stay.<\/p>\n

The trouble commenced its course. The
\ngovernment wanted all of the Hopi children
\nto be put into schools. They said it would
\ndo us good, but we knew that this “good”
\nwould only be on the surface, and that what
\nwas under it would destroy the Hopi cultural
\nlife. Maybe they thought that with an
\neducation the children might be able to help
\nthe old people, but we knew this would not
\nbe so, because they would learn to think as
\nwhite men, so they would never help the old
\npeople. Instead they would be indoctrinated
\nand encouraged to turn against us, as they
\nare actually doing today. So in order to be
\ngood according to the Great Spirit’s
\ninstructions we refused to put our children
\ninto the schools.<\/p>\n

So almost every week they would send
\npolicemen, many of them. They would surround
\nthe village and hunt for the children of
\nschool age.\u00a0 We could not be happy because
\nwe were expecting trouble every day.
\nFathers who refused to cooperate were
\narrested and imprisoned.\u00a0 Inhuman acts were
\nimposed upon us, starvation, insults and
\nhumiliation, to force us into submission.
\nStill, over half of the clan leaders and
\nreligious society leaders refused to accept
\nanything from the government. Because of
\nthis we were mocked and treated as outcasts
\nby those who had already submitted. Finally
\nthey decided to do something about us
\nbecause we were keeping them from getting
\ncertain favors from the government.<\/p>\n

This was when Loloma’s successor,
\nTewaquaptewa, became chief of Oraibi. It was
\nunder his leadership that the sad event, the
\neviction of the faithful Hopi from Oraibi,
\nwas touched off. Since we “Hostiles,” as we
\nwere called by the missionaries and
\ngovernment workers refused to follow his
\nwishes and accept the white man’s way of
\nlife, he decided to evict us bodily. He
\nfigured that without our interference he
\nwould be able to take advantage of the good
\nthings offered by Bahanna.<\/p>\n

THE FAITHFUL HOPI EVICTED FROM ORAIBI
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

On September 7, 1906, his followers,
\ncommanded by chief Tewaquaptewa himself,
\nentered the house where we were discussing
\nprophesies and threw us out. We did not
\nresist until rifles and other weapons were
\nshown and they began beating us. Then we
\nresisted only to the extent of defending
\nourselves from injury. I was “killed,” and
\nbleeding, my blood flowed into Mother Earth,
\na prophetic sign that the Purifier was
\ncoming in seven days and that we should move
\nout of Oraibi.\u00a0 When I came back to life,
\nall my people were gathered to go. My
\nfather, Yukiuma, was selected to be the
\nleader. The women and children, with a few
\nbelongings on their backs, a little food,
\nand no shoes, were prepared to leave. Some
\ntried to go back to their houses to get
\ntheir valuables and some extra food, but
\nthey were turned back. (In Book of the Hopi,
\nit is said we were allowed to go back and
\nget some belongings, but this is not true.
\nThat book is not accurate.) After we had
\nleft, we learned that our houses had been
\nlooted and that horses had been turned loose
\nin our fields and had eaten our crops, which
\nwere just ready for harvest.<\/p>\n

Thus we had to migrate once again to find a
\nnew home, leaving behind a corrupt world of
\nconfusion. We sought to start a new life,
\ncarry on our ceremonial cycles, and preserve
\nour way of life without interference, but
\nnow we know that this was a dead dream, for
\nthe interference has continued right up to
\nthe present day.<\/p>\n

THE FOUNDING OF HOTVELA VILLAGE
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

The village of Hotevila was settled for one
\npurpose, to stand firmly on the Great
\nSpirit’s instructions and fulfill the
\nprophecies to the end. It was established by
\ngood people, one-hearted people who were
\nactually living these instructions. Water
\nwas plentiful, and so was wood, from which
\nwe built temporary shelters in which we were
\nto survive the cold winter with very few
\nblankets. Food was scarce, but we managed to
\nlive from the land by hunting game and
\npicking greens.\u00a0 We were united into
\noneness, but it would again be split into
\ntwo due to extreme pressure from the
\noutside.<\/p>\n

RENEWED ATTACKS
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Hardly had our footprints faded away in
\nOraibi, when early one morning we found
\nourselves surrounded by government troops.
\nAll the people, including the children, were
\nordered to march six miles to a place below
\nOraibi.\u00a0 From there all the men were marched
\nover forty miles to the U.S. government
\nagency at Keams Canyon, where they were
\nimprisoned for about a year and a half for
\nnot accepting the generous offer of
\neducation for our children, among other
\nthings.<\/p>\n

The first thing they ordered us to do was to
\nsign papers. We refused. Then they locked us
\ninside a building without food and with very
\nlittle water for several days until we were
\nvery hungry. Again they tried to induce us
\nto sign papers, promising to feed us and let
\nus go, but again we refused. They tried
\nother tricks to make us sign, but each time
\nwe refused. Finally they took us to a
\nblacksmith shop, where they riveted chains
\nto our legs with loops and hooks, and
\nfastened us together in pairs. In this way
\nwe were forced to work on a road gang for
\nlong hours everyday, working dangerously
\nwith dynamite on the steep rocky cliffs near
\nthe agency. That road is now the foundation
\nof a highway still in use today.<\/p>\n

At night we were fastened together in groups
\nof six by means of long chains. To add to
\nour torture, soap was added to our food,
\nwhich made us very sick. When one man had to
\ngo the outhouse, all six had to go. All this
\ntime the possibility of signing certain
\npapers was left open to those who might
\nweaken. During this period my father,
\nYukiuma, was being held somewhere else so I
\nwas acting as leader.<\/p>\n

While we were in prison, only the women and
\nchildren, and maybe a few old men, were left
\nout here. They had very little food, but as
\nif by a miracle, there happened to be a lot
\nof rabbits and other wild game that winter,
\nso on that meat diet they were able to
\nsurvive the hard weather. It was very hard
\nwhile the men were away.\u00a0 The old people
\nused to talk about it. The women had to
\ngather the wood themselves. My mother used
\nto tell me how they would form hunting
\nparties and get the dogs to help. We had a
\nsmall flock of sheep which they tended while
\nwe were away. During the growing season they
\nplanted the crops, took care of the fields,
\nand did all the work that the men would
\nnormally do, in order to survive.<\/p>\n

THE DISRUPTION CONTINUES TODAY
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

During this period a group under the
\nleadership of Kawonumptewa (Sand Clan),
\nfearing even worse pressure from the
\ngovernment, returned to Oraibi to follow
\nTewaquaptewa and accept the white man’s way,
\nbut they were rejected and driven out. They
\nsettled about two miles from Hotevila, where
\nthey founded the village of Bacobi. Unable
\nto make out independently, they asked the
\ngovernment agency for help.\u00a0 The agency
\nhappily obliged with such things as housing
\nmaterials. Now they almost entirely accept
\nthe white man’s way, along with his
\nreligion. According to the Great Spirit’s
\nlaw they are now landless. Their only assets
\nare their dwellings. But it is through them
\nthat the agency obtained token permission to
\nbuild a school on Hotvela land, and with the
\nagency’s backing they have committed land
\ngrabs against the Hotvela people. It is also
\nthrough them that the government has built a
\nwater tower on Hotvela land, which supplies
\nrunning water to the school and to Bacobi
\nvillage, while depleting the natural water
\nsupply of the Hotvela people. Most of the
\npeople in Hotvela refuse to use the water
\nfrom this tower.\u00a0 Much of the trouble caused
\nby the Bacobi people still exists today.\u00a0 I
\ncan recall much more that I hope will come
\nto light.<\/p>\n

At the present time we face the danger that
\nwe might lose our land entirely. Through the
\ninfluence of the United States government,
\nsome people of Hopi ancestry have organized
\nwhat they call the Hopi Tribal Council,
\npatterned according to a plan devised by the
\ngovernment, for the purpose of negotiating
\ndirectly with the government and with
\nprivate businesses. They claim to act in the
\ninterests of the Hopi people, despite the
\nfact that they ignore the existing
\ntraditional leaders, and represent only a
\nsmall minority of the people of Hopi blood.
\nLarge areas of our land have been leased,
\nand this group is now accepting compensation
\nfrom the Indian Claims Commission for the
\nuse of 44,000,000 acres of Hopi land. We
\nhave protested all these moves, but to no
\navail.<\/p>\n

Now this Tribal Council was formed
\nillegally, even according to white man’s
\nlaws. We traditional leaders have
\ndisapproved and protested form the start. In
\nspite of this they have been organized and
\nrecognized by the United States government
\nfor the purpose of disguising its
\nwrongdoings to the outside world. We do not
\nhave representatives in this organization,
\nnor are we legally subject to their
\nregulations and programs. We Hopi are an
\nindependent sovereign nation, by the law of
\nthe Great Spirit, but the United States
\ngovernment does not want to recognize the
\naboriginal leaders of this land. Instead, he
\nrecognizes only what he himself has created
\nout of today’s children in order to carry
\nout his scheme to claim all of our land.<\/p>\n

Because of this, we now face the greatest
\nthreat of all, the actual loss of our
\ncornfields and gardens, our animals and wild
\ngame, and our natural water supply, which
\nwould put an end to the Hopi way of life. At
\nthe urging of the Department of the Interior
\nof the United States, the Tribal Council has
\nsigned several leases with an outside
\nprivate enterprise, the Peabody Coal
\nCompany, allowing them to explore our land
\nfor coal deposits, and to strip-mine the
\nsacred mesas, selling the coal to several
\nlarge power plants. This is part of a
\nproject intended to bring heavy industry
\ninto our area against our wishes. We know
\nthat this will pollute the fields and
\ngrazing lands and drive out the wildlife.
\nGreat quantities of water will be pumped
\nfrom beneath our desert land and used to
\npush coal through a pipe to a power plant in
\nanother state (Nevada). The loss of this
\nwater will affect our farms as well as the
\ngrazing areas of the animals. It also
\nthreatens our sacred springs, our only
\nnatural source of water, which we have
\ndepended upon for centuries.<\/p>\n

We Hopi knew all this would come about,
\nbecause this is the Universal Plan. It was
\nplanned by the Great Spirit and the Creator
\nthat when the white man came he would offer
\nus many things. If we were to accept those
\noffers from his government, that would be
\nthe doom of the Hopi nation. Hopi is the
\nbloodline of this continent, as others are
\nthe bloodline of other continents. So if
\nHopi is doomed, the whole world will be
\ndestroyed. This we know, because this same
\nthing happened in the other world. So if we
\nwant to survive, we should go back to the
\nway we lived in the beginning, the peaceful
\nway, and accept everything the Creator has
\nprovided for us to follow.<\/p>\n

White man’s laws are many, but mine is one.
\nWhite man’s laws are all stacked up. So many
\npeople have made the rules, and many of them
\nare made every day. But my law is only the
\nCreator’s, just one. And no man-made law
\nmust I follow, because it is ever-changing,
\nand will doom my people.<\/p>\n

We know that when the time comes, the Hopi
\nwill be reduced to maybe one person, two
\nperson, three persons. If he can withstand
\nthe pressure from the people who are against
\nthe tradition, the world might survive from
\ndestruction We are at the stage where I must
\nstand alone, free from impure elements. I
\nmust continue to lead my people on the road
\nthe Great Spirit made for us to travel. I do
\nnot disregard anyone. All who are faithful
\nand confident in the Great Spirit’s way are
\nat liberty to follow the same road. We will
\nmeet many obstacles along the way. The
\npeaceful way of life can be accomplished
\nonly by people with strong courage, and by
\nthe purification of all living things.
\nMother Earth’s ills must be cured.<\/p>\n

As we say, the Hopi are the first people
\ncreated. They must cure the ills of their
\nown bloodline so everything will become
\npeaceful naturally, by the will of the
\nCreator. He will cure the world. But right
\nnow Hopi is being hurt. To us this is a sign
\nthat the world is in trouble. All over the
\nworld the confused people have been
\nfighting, and it will get worse. It is only
\npurification of the Hopi that will settle
\nthe problems here on this Earth. We didn’t
\nsuffer all this hardship and punishment for
\nnothing. We live by these prophecies and
\nteachings, and no matter what happens, we
\nwill not buckle down under any pressure from
\nanybody.<\/p>\n

We know certain people are commissioned to
\nbring about the Purification. It is the
\nUniversal Plan from the beginning of
\ncreation, and we are looking up to them to
\nbring purification to us.\u00a0 It is in the rock
\nwritings throughout the world, on different
\ncontinents. We will come together if people
\nall over the world know about it. So we urge
\nyou to spread this word around so people
\nwill know about it, and the appointed ones
\nwill hurry up with their task, to purify the
\nHopi and get rid of those who are hindering
\nour way of life.<\/p>\n

I have spoken. I wish this message to travel
\nto all corners of this land and across the
\ngreat waters, where people of understanding
\nmay consider these words of wisdom and
\nknowledge. This I want. For people may have
\ndifferent opinions about some things, but
\nbecause of the nature of the beliefs upon
\nwhich the Hopi life is based, I expect that
\nat least one will agree, maybe even two. If
\nthree agree it will be worth many fold.<\/p>\n

I am forever looking and praying eastward to
\nthe rising sun for my true white brother to
\ncome and purify the Hopi. My father,
\nYukiuma, used to tell me that I would be the
\none to take over as leader at this time,
\nbecause I belong to the Sun Clan, the father
\nof all the people on the Earth. I was told
\nthat I must not give in, because I am the
\nfirst. The Sun is the father of all living
\nthings from the first creation. And if I am
\ndone, the Sun Clan, then there will be no
\nliving thing left on the Earth. So I have
\nstood fast. I hope you will understand what
\nI am trying to tell you.<\/p>\n

I am the Sun, the father. With my warmth all
\nthings are created. You are my children, and
\nI am very concerned about you. I hold you to
\nprotect you from harm, but my heart is sad
\nto see you leaving my protecting arms and
\ndestroying yourselves. From the breast of
\nyour mother, the Earth, you receive your
\nnourishment, but She is to dangerously ill
\nto give you pure food. What will it be? Will
\nyou lift your father’s heart? Will you cure
\nyour mother’s ills? Or will you forsake us
\nand leave us with sadness, to be weathered
\naway? I don’t want this world to be
\ndestroyed. If this world is saved, you all
\nwill be saved, and whoever has stood fast
\nwill complete this plan with us, so that we
\nwill all be happy in the Peaceful Way.<\/p>\n

People everywhere must give Hopi their most
\nserious consideration, our prophecies, our
\nteachings, and our ceremonial duties, for if
\nHopi fails, it will trigger the destruction
\nof the world and all mankind. I have spoken
\nthrough the mouth of the Creator. May the
\nGreat Spirit guide you on the right path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Dear Friends, My name is Kymberlee Ruff, MFT. I am Cherokee by ethnicity but I have been given the great honor of being a “Carrier of the Hopi\/Tibetan Prophecies”. I was asked by the Elders to share the Sacred writings of the late Chief Dan Katchongva.
